not seen it. will though
A \"take it or leave it\" for me, but I\'m beginning to find most \'comedy\' shows are all to similar/predictable. Or as in the case of most BBC comedies either repeats or re-hash of tired old materials.
As for so called \"cutting edge\" comedy, well the edge seems blunt these days.
Oh I must really be getting Old.

What would be \'cutting edge\' comedy? \'Arrested Development\' seems incredibly dense with its jokes and how each works with the storylines/past storylines, I\'m really curious to what comedies there are/were out there!

Arrested development is in my opinion the finest comedy produced on American soil. I think I enjoyed the Britsh Office and Extra\'s a lttle more but Arrested Devlopment is way up their in my esteem. For whatever reason the line I loved, and the one that my circle of friends uses all the time is \"I\'m Tom Jane\" and then walk away when someone asks you something. That one just made me laugh and I couldn\'t explain why.
Other shows I personally enjoy and reccomend highly...
-My Name is Earl (Season 1 & 2 only, season 3 smokes pole)
-It\'s always Sunny in Philidelphia
Wow. Is that really it? Man I am trying to think of other comedies from TV I loved but there really doesn\'t seem to be much. I love \"Rescue Me\" but hardly a strict comedy.
Man, what happened to all the funny? I\'m happy with the comedy movies that came out in \'08 but what happened to the TV shows? Is everything turning into CSI?
Can anyone else think of anything they watch regularily on TV that\'s funny?

Loved Arrested Development (didn\'t find it predictable at all really - which was kinda the attraction) and was sad to see it cancelled. I always loved seeing Gob buzz up on his Segway and say \"Hello, Michael\" lol
My new love is 30 Rock. Alec Baldwin is just priceless in it.

Yeah! There\'s a good series, 30 Rock! I wish I could\'ve thought of that earlier. My fav was ALec Baldwin giving fighting tips to use against Tracy Jordan\'s wife.
\"I always size up people I meet in case I need to fight them.\"
\"I always size up people I meet in case I need to fight them.\"
I think that is what is so appealing to me about the show....Watching it as a regular is like having a private joke with the show itself, with all the callbacks and references to earlier shows.
Plus, I love the stuff like how Scott Baio followed up Henry Winkler\'s character (just like on Happy Days)...or how Ron Howard\'s Narrator really wanted to make it clear they were NOT trying to make Andy Griffith angry...
The show is filled with these little hidden gems.
